Understanding and Prioritising – vital considerations for any training budgets

Fixing the underlying problem and not the side effects is one of the fundamental principles of problem solving and is often where many people fall down, as the side affects are the areas being addressed and not the actual problem. This means that any positive changes generated by the problem solving are likely to be short lived, if experienced at all.

At a time business confidence is just starting to recover from one of the worst economic situations in modern times, ensuring that spending is done wisely and on important activities is imperative and the training budget is no exception.

Many training buyers fall into the trap of purchasing training that address these secondary issues and not the root cause of the problem. It is for this reason why Righttrack Consultancy, the learning and development specialist based, has created a free, online management training needs analysis tool. The tool has an easy-to-use questionnaire format, which has been specifically designed to help identify which development areas are the priority and should be addressed first.

Chris Banting, Righttrack’s International Marketing & Business Development Manager, said “At Righttrack we regularly find that many training buyers initially enquire about addressing areas that are not necessarily the fundamental underlying problem areas that cause them, as often the sub-issues are a lot more apparent.

The questionnaire has 35 dichotomous questions and takes up to 10 minutes to complete. The questions are based on seven key areas surrounding management training and they include leading teams, communications, managing change and performance management.

The online element allows anyone to conduct the survey in private, with the results and an analysis of them available instantly. This enables the respondents to fully understand the results and, with the ability to return to the results at any time, realise on their own what development their team needs. This helps when searching for the right development and provider of the training.

By finding out which areas are priority, prospective training buyers can invest in the most urgent development areas, thus making the most of their training budgets, whilst addressing the key issues that are hindering their organisation’s performance.”

Righttrack’s customers have warmly received the tool and the number of people registering to use the questionnaire is increasing on a week-by-week basis; who says you can’t get anything for free these days!
